Brewmaster Tank Video (Gara'jal)

Hello Monks,

I will be publishing some Monk Tanking Pespective videos over the next week. Part 3 of the series, Gara'jal the Spiritbinder, is already out at: [search youtube for 6opajuBjAbs as I cannot post links yet] These are not so much strategies, but annotated and narrated videos explaining how I was able to accomplish the fight from my point of view, and they are of our first kills so there will be plenty of refinement. Still, I hope you can find some decent nuggets in there to help you with your progress as well.

That would be ElvUI. The bars and icons to the left of centre are Weakauras that look like they have been built on Sunnier Bear's Weakaura files.

Indeed ElvUI and Weak Auras with Sunnier's builds.

Dampen Harm is nice, but Diffuse Magic would not be completely useless with all of the Shadowy Attacks going out. On this fight, i went with DH, but I am sure we will see a fight soon where DM will be better, I will be sure to highlight that when the time comes.

Xeun should be used whilst you're tanking as I believe it will scale with vengance rather than during hero.

Do you really think it's best to clear medium stagger? Not better to let it ride to heavy to help with shuffle uptime?

You're going into the spirit realm with a lot of vengance, as you have touch of death you can easily go and smash some spirits faces in when you go in there (After letting the video run, I saw you did this on the second wave), there's no rush for you to get outside. If healing is an issue you could also use chi wave on an add t'boot.

Something else which I didn't see mentioned was the use of avert harm?

I don't want to come across hypercritical mind you, was a great video.

In terms of DH vs DM - It will differ fight to fight, a good use of DM would be of Elegon where your OT is exploding adds, it'll nullify the damage + a breath if timed right. You can also live through the beserk damage using it if pushing the enrage very hard.
